    at 11.00am till 1.00pm



    The following questions will be addressed:

    * Is Reconciliation possible after Genocide?

    * Is denial of truth any basis for Reconciliation?

    * Taking the Armenian, Assyrian, Greek and Kurdish examples: Does the
    UK government hinder the process of reconciliation by its one-sided
    pro-Turkish government stance?

    * Will the planned state visit by HM the Queen to Turkey in May be a
    seal of approval on the Turkish government's distortion of the truth of the
    genocide, and the continuing cultural genocide in Turkey?
